Starting today, toll collection will end at the Sungai Besi toll plaza for the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway and Salak Expressway (E37). This is according to a statement released by the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM).

With the ending of the concession period for the aforementioned stretches of highways, there will be no more toll payments required when entering and exiting at the Sungai Besi toll plaza, depending on the vehicles class (Class 0 – free, Class 1 – RM0.80, Class 2 – RM1.20, Class 3 – RM1.70, Class 4 – RM0.40, Class 5 – RM0.60). However, exiting at any other toll plaza along the aforementioned highways will still require you to pay the normal journey rates.

The E37 is a particular stretch of road not managed by PLUS Malaysia, but rather by ANIH (formerly known as Metramac). Therefore, the toll rate paid at the Sungai Besi toll plaza includes its own toll charges to cover the Kuala Lumpur–Seremban Expressway (now been removed), as well as the rate for using the PLUS highway. The E37 starts near Jalan Istana in Kuala Lumpur and ends near the Sungai Besi toll plaza at the North-South Expressway.

“Users who pass through the Sungai Besi toll plaza will only need to pay the toll charges within the North-South Expressway (PLUS) alignment that they are traveling through,” read the statement. LLM stated this move will benefit nearly 130,000 motorists using the toll plaza daily.

I was scratching my head at first trying to figure out which highway exactly was this….

After some research it turns out to be the current stretch from Jalan Istana to the Sungai Besi toll plaza, which doesn’t have any toll gate but apparently toll are collected for it if you use the Sungai Besi toll plaza…

Apparently it was a relic of the past prior to PLUS taking over the North South Expressway. The Kuala Lumpur Seremban Expressway used to run from Jalan Istana to Seremban. Then PLUS took over from Sungai Besi to Seremban leaving the rest with the previous concessionaire which is the concession ending today…

When you pass through the Sg. Besi toll plaza, there is one charge of 80 sen which is not part of toll collection for NSE (under Plus). For eg, if you enter from Sg. Besi toll plaza and exit Bangi toll plaza, the toll charges deducted is RM2.70. So with the abolition of the collection for E37, the toll payment should be RM1.90 now for NSE between Sg. Besi and Bangi

yup, in turns out that the stretch between Jalan Istana/Old Sungei Besi Airport to Sungai Besi toll (start of PLUS NSE) is own by Metramac/Anih all these while as part of the original KL-Seremban Expressway.

since there is no toll booth along that stretch, the toll of 80 sen is instead collected by PLUS should you enter NSE through the Sungai Besi toll plaza
